Christian Brandstätter Publishers is one of the biggest photo and art book publishers in Austria. While rethinking their biannual publishing program we restructured the content and wrapped up all the important information (author, title, additional bibliographic data etc.) into one side column to access all the basic information at a single glance.

The clear, column based design as well as the subtle typography are complemented by a set of delicate b/w icons, derived from the publishers logo and made to blend seamlessly with the clear typographic design.

During the last two years the gallery has been renovated and its first part has opened for the public again by the end of February 2016. Together with fellow Leipzig based design studio Gourdin & Müller we were working on the new signage.

A sensitive, contemporary design, paired with an exclusive, not yet released geometric Sans Serif make sure that the signage blends in perfectly with the architecture and still reflects the representative character of the gallery. All letters, floor plans, arrows and figures consist of a corpus of 10mm depth, painted in the same color as the wall it sits on, as well as a 2mm bronze facing that reflects minuscule details in the overall architecture of the gallery. This attention to detail ensures that the signage has an almost stucco like appearance and reflects the representative character of the place perfectly.

At the core of SPICEDs visual identity we created a generative polygon-based logo, the stationary and the graphical basics of their brand structure. This generative logo design represents best how programming and design can go hand in hand to create something new – nothing is fixed, everything is in flux.

For the first time in years the Leipzig based Archiv Bürgerbewegung brings all of their activities together in a handy A5 brochure. The double-sized cover in bright orange works either as a simple front cover or as a play of words from the back to the front cover. The inner part of the brochure encloses very heterogeneous pictures, streamlined by a strong typographical conception.

The new brand architecture has been jointly developed in an intense process, in which the local roots of Schmitt Werke and the increasing international focus of the group have been combined in a new claim. The new color range has been carefully readjusted and extended so that all brands have a clear distinction within the range and the system stays flexible enough to allow for future brands to find their place amongst the others. Furthermore we developed a consistent design grid for various communication materials, which allows for a very coordinated and integrative corporate identity throughout all brands.
